The Brightonomicon (Brentford Trilogy) door Robert Rankin
Very crazy. Hard to get through in parts cause a lot of things make no sense, but it was entertaining.
Hugo Rune is my least favourite of Rankin's characters and as this is book revolves around him it's fairly average. Redeemed a little by the last few chapters which are better, but then spoilt by the surprise ending.
"The pungent turd!"
I think that sums this book up quite nicely.

This was my first Robert Rankin book so I was curious how I would like it. I hadn't heard a LOT about him but the cover looked fun and the title was ridiculous so I thought it would be fun.
It was so much fun at the beginning that I had to start over and read it with/to my woman. We both agreed it was hilarious but that this kind of comedy gets old so the book would have been better if it was shorter. There were many groan inspiring puns and repeated gags and that's okay because they were funny sometimes, but after a while they were just kind of annoying.
So while I wouldn't put Rankin's level of funny in the ranks of Pratchett or Adams this book was still enjoyable for the most part and I'd be willing to try another.… (meer)
